wire.
The amplifier load is
excessive.
DC voltage of +/–2V
or greater was generated
in the power amplifier’s
output circuit.
Consult your dealer. The relay operates to

Locate and correct the
cause of the short.
Use a speaker system
with an impedance of at
least 4Ω (stereo) or 8Ω
(bridge).
Check the amplifier
